Dating back to the 1700s, this Scottish folk song was initially known as O Waly, Waly. This free setting connects original music with the source melody in a continuous unfolding of melodic and motivic material. Players should pay special attention to dynamic shading, harmonic tension and resolution, and balance to allow the music to be fully expressive.
